## Print Coefficient Matrices

### Description

Utility function to be used in “higher level” `print` methods, such as `print.summary.lm`, `print.summary.glm` and `print.anova`. The goal is to provide a flexible interface with smart defaults such that often, only `x` needs to be specified.

### Usage

    printCoefmat(x, digits=max(3, getOption("digits") - 2),
                 signif.stars = getOption("show.signif.stars"),
                 dig.tst = max(1, min(5, digits - 1)),
                 cs.ind = 1:k, tst.ind = k + 1, zap.ind = integer(0),
                 P.values = NULL,
                 has.Pvalue = nc >= 4 && substr(colnames(x)[nc],1,3) == "Pr(",
                 eps.Pvalue = .Machine$double.eps,
                 na.print = "NA", ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a numeric matrix like object, to be printed.
`digits` | minimum number of significant digits to be used for most numbers.
`signif.stars` | logical; if `TRUE`, P-values are additionally encoded visually as “significance stars” in order to help scanning of long coefficient tables. It defaults to the `show.signif.stars` slot of `options`.
`dig.tst` | minimum number of significant digits for the test statistics, see `tst.ind`.
`cs.ind` | indices (integer) of column numbers which are (like) coefficients and standard errors to be formatted together.
`tst.ind` | indices (integer) of column numbers for test statistics.
`zap.ind` | indices (integer) of column numbers which should be formatted by `zapsmall`, i.e., by “zapping” values close to 0.
`P.values` | logical or `NULL`; if `TRUE`, the last column of `x` is formatted by `format.pval` as P values. If `P.values = NULL`, the default, it is set to `TRUE` only if `link{options}("show.coef.Pvalue")` is `TRUE` and `x` has at least 4 columns and the last column name of `x` starts with `"Pr("`.
`has.Pvalue` | logical; if `TRUE`, the last column of `x` contains P values; in that case, it is printed iff `P.values` (above).
`eps.Pvalue` | number,..
`na.print` | a character string to code `NA` values in printed output.
`...` | further arguments for `print`.

### Value

Invisibly returns its argument, `x`.

### Examples

    cmat <- cbind(rnorm(3, 10), sqrt(rchisq(3, 12)))
    cmat <- cbind(cmat, cmat[,1]/cmat[,2])
    cmat <- cbind(cmat, 2*pnorm(-cmat[,3]))
    colnames(cmat) <- c("Estimate", "Std.Err", "Z value", "Pr(>z)")
    printCoefmat(cmat[,1:3])
    printCoefmat(cmat)
    options(show.coef.Pvalues = FALSE)
    printCoefmat(cmat, digits=2)
    printCoefmat(cmat, digits=2, P.values = TRUE)
    options(show.coef.Pvalues = TRUE)# revert
